Glyphy is built with privacy as the foundation, not a feature. This policy explains what data we collect (very little), why we need it, and your rights. It is written in plain language because privacy policies should be readable.
The short version: Glyphy does not collect, transmit, store, or sell any personal data. Everything you type, every theme you customize, every shortcut you save, and every encryption key the app generates stays on your device. We have no servers, no analytics SDKs, no third-party trackers.
None.
Glyphy does not collect any personally identifiable information. We do not have user accounts, sign-up forms, or login systems. We do not track your keystrokes, your conversations, or your usage patterns. We do not use cookies (the app is not a website). We do not have any analytics SDK (no Firebase, no Mixpanel, no Amplitude, no AppsFlyer, nothing).
The following information is stored locally on your iPhone, in the app's container and the App Group shared with the keyboard extension. None of it leaves your device:
This data is private to you. We have no access to it.
iOS requires Full Access for any custom keyboard that uses system features. Glyphy uses Full Access to:
Full Access is not a backdoor — it's the iOS system permission required to use any of these features. Glyphy never uses Full Access to read or transmit your keystrokes.
The Location tool requires permission to access your location. This permission is only requested when you actively use the Location tool. Your coordinates are sent to Apple's CLGeocoder (a system service, not a Glyphy server) to obtain an address. Once obtained, the address is shown only to you and inserted into the chat only if you tap "Insert".
Glyphy makes network requests only in these specific situations, always initiated by you:
Glyphy does not phone home, ping any analytics endpoint, or send any "anonymous usage statistics".
Glyphy offers a Premium subscription through Apple's StoreKit. All payments are processed by Apple. We do not see, receive, or store your payment information, your Apple ID, your email, or your name. We receive only an opaque receipt that tells us whether your subscription is active.
Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscription at any time in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iPhone.
Glyphy is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children. Because we do not collect any data at all, this is true by design.
Glyphy uses the following third-party services:
Glyphy does not embed any analytics SDK, advertising SDK, crash reporting SDK, or attribution SDK.
Under GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations, you have the right to:
